Lila herself didn’t know what kind of feelings she harbored for William.
That man, who seemed even younger than her brother, appeared to be shrouded in secrets from head to toe.
You’d think he was poor, given his apparent financial status.
But during their first meeting, when she offered William her grandfather’s bank card, he seemed utterly uninterested.
If it were any other young man receiving favor from her grandfather, they’d likely be overjoyed.
Yet William didn’t seem to hold her grandfather in high regard.
After some recent events, Lila even began to feel that her grandfather’s attitude towards William wasn’t just admiration…
But rather something akin to awe.
Whenever she asked about William’s identity or anything related to him, her grandfather always diverted the topic. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮
Initially, she and Bella even speculated whether William might be the descendant of one of the elderly gentlemen’s deceased friends, seeking to choose a wife among their group of girls.
Alice seemed to look down on William in their chat group initially.
But in just over a month, Alice had been frequently visiting William’s house, and their relationship seemed to have grown complicated.
Lila couldn’t help feeling a bit gloomy, considering she was the first to interact with William…
Of course, Lila didn’t think she had fallen for William. It was more about feeling that Alice was being hypocritical and insincere.
David’s claim to know a secret about William was something Lila somewhat doubted.
But somehow, she had agreed to hear him out.
“Go ahead, what’s the secret?” Lila didn’t really take David seriously.
Surrounded by numerous bodyguards, and with her own decent self-defense skills, she wasn’t worried about David pulling any tricks.
David glanced at the bodyguards and smiled, “Lila, what I’m about to tell you might be quite shocking, so it’s better to find a quiet place to talk. I know a Chinese restaurant nearby that’s pretty good. How about we talk over dinner there?”
Lila frowned and said, “All this mystery, I don’t even know what you really want to say.”
David smiled and replied, “You’ll know once you come with me. Are you afraid I’ll do something to you? So many people saw you walking with me…”
“Fine, let’s go.”
Lila also dispelled her concerns.
The Rogers family business was reliant on investments from her family, the Carters. Even though David was like gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe, persistently clinging to her, he at least maintained a basic level of respect.
At the very least, he wouldn’t be rude to her.
The two arrived at a nearby Chinese restaurant called ‘Eastern Delight’, where David had arranged for a private room. Once the dishes were served, Lila finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “What do you really want to say?”
A sly smile appeared on David’s face as he suddenly extended his hand, displaying a metallic pendant on his middle finger.
Lila was initially confused, not understanding David’s intentions.
“You love me the most! Starting today, you are my wife. When we get back, you’ll tell your grandfather about our marriage.” Although David wasn’t a particularly powerful Soulmancer, his “Mysterious System” included a hypnotism technique.
While Lila knew some combat skills, she was no match for the hypnotism used by David, a Soulmancer. Her pupils soon lost focus, and she mindlessly repeated, “You are the one I love the most… I am your wife… I need to talk to grandfather about our marriage…”
Seeing Lila in this state, a sleazy smile spread across David’s face.
Damn it!
So what if she was the heiress of the Carter family?
He was now a Soulmancer, and according to various scripts, his sudden acquisition of the “Mysterious System” made him the protagonist. Conquering Lila was just the starting point of his life.
“Just by having sexual relations with Lila and marrying her, I’ll definitely gain the support of the Carter family and rise to power.
Then, Bella, Alice, and all the others will be part of my harem, and my journey will be as vast as the stars and the sea!
Recently, aren’t there many Soulmancer Guilds near New York?
If he joined a Guild, he would definitely be a genius within it, learning anything instantly, and life would be like playing a game with cheats from then on.
“David…” Lila’s gaze gradually returned to normal, but she was completely hypnotized. When she saw David, she blushed and said, “Why are you here?”
David, his eyes filled with malevolence, said indulgently, “Lila, have you forgotten? We came here to eat together!”
“Did we? I’m sorry, I forgot.” Lila’s intelligence seemed to have dropped significantly. In the past, she would never speak to David in such a tone.
David looked at the beauty before him, unable to help swallowing. Lila used to be a cold goddess to him, someone he could only look up to.
Now that he had hypnotized her, he was ready to take full advantage of the situation.
He thought about the pleasure he would have tonight, his hand reaching towards Lila’s chest.
Lila didn’t reject him but shyly lowered her head.
“Hey hey!” David let out a lewd laugh, thinking she was completely under his control.
But just as his hand was inches away from Lila, someone knocked on the door of the private room. .𝒎
A glimmer of clarity flashed in Lila’s eyes. She frowned suddenly, raised her head, and seeing David’s hand about to touch her chest, she exclaimed, “David! What are you doing?!”
David was slightly taken aback, still smiling sleazily, “What else? I’m checking your body.”
Slap!
Lila slapped David across the face, her complexion alternating between red and white, and scolded, “Shameless!”
David was completely dumbfounded by the slap. With his current abilities, he could have easily dodged it, but he never expected Lila to actually hit him.
Wasn’t she hypnotized?
Where did it go wrong?
Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open, and William stood at the entrance, smiling at David.
“William?” Both Lila and David exclaimed in unison.
Lila had fully regained her senses, recalling the hypnotism by David. Clenching her fists and grinding her teeth, she glared at David before asking William, “Did you save me?”
William stepped into the room, saying, “I wouldn’t say I saved you,I was just looking to trouble him.”
“Damn it! Ruining my plans again!” David now harbored deep hatred for William. Setting aside their past encounters, he never had any good experiences with William.
Today, when he was finally about to succeed with Lila, this jerk showed up again.
William chuckled, “Should I apologize for interrupting you like this?”
“Jerk! Don’t think you’re leaving here alive today!” David sneered, “You think I’m still that weakling? I’m a Soulmancer now!”
With that, he suddenly unleashed his energy, attacking William. His right hand transformed into a claw, aiming straight for William’s throat.
He had tested this move before, capable of snapping a steel bar as thick as an arm.
In his eyes, William was as good as dead!
Once William was dead, he could just hypnotize Lila again.
